Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2020 New Flyer Xd40 in Canada.
On certain transit buses, a software problem could cause the antilock braking system (ABS) warning light not to turn on if there's a problem with the ABS.
A warning light that doesn't turn on could cause you not to be aware of a problem with the ABS. This could increase the risk of a crash.
New Flyer will notify owners in writing and provide you with instructions for how to update the vehicle software. Alternatively, you may contact New Flyer to arrange for a service team to perform the repairs.
Certain transit buses may not have enough emergency exits or the exits may be in the wrong location. As a result, the buses don't meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations.
Missing or incorrectly located emergency exits could slow your exit from the bus in an emergency. This could increase the risk of injury.
New Flyer will notify owners in writing. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
On certain transit buses, the transmission yoke bolt could loosen and cause the driveshaft to separate from the transmission. If this happens, there would be a sudden loss of power to the wheels.
A sudden loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a bus that is disabled could create the need for a transfer of passengers in an uncontrolled environment, which may create a risk of injury.
New Flyer will notify owners by email. An Allison Transmission technician will inspect and re-tighten the transmission yoke bolts, as necessary.
On certain buses, the fuel rail assembly could develop a leak. Note: This recall only affects buses equipped with a Cummins L9 diesel engine.
A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.
New Flyer will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your bus to a Cummins authorized service center to inspect the fuel rail. If damage is found, the fuel rail and fuel lines will be replaced. If no damage is found, the fuel rail will be reassembled with new crush washers using a special tool.
